Introduction

The following data was compiled using three separate surveys: a) an intake survey administered at the beginning of the program; b) a midline survey; c) and an end-point survey. When these surveys were devised at the beginning of the program in 2019 they could not anticipate the vicissitudes that would be wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, later iterations of the survey probed different points of saliency. Additionally, questions were also revised as part of on iterative process to refine the survey more generally. On occasion, this has meant that questions are not always perfectly in alignment between different measuring points. All cases of such discrepancies have been noted.

Target Demographics

Widely ranging in their approach, the six projects were also operating in different contexts.

Economic Target Group

The organizations were surveyed on their target population

Observations

There is a shift away from lower income and towards middle and higher income. Part of this shift can be explained by a slight change in the phrase of the question. i.e. Poor and Very Poor, were not part of the initial survey. Expecting that this could also be explained by….
